Mal 4:4 | MHM | STEP | Evangelical Predictions This passage is the closing message not only of Malachi’s prophecy but of the entire Old Testament. It tells the people that there will be no more messages from God until the coming of the Messiah. The people are told to hold on to what God has already given them and to wait in hope for what is coming. This shows that the Old Testament is complete, and the Jews never accepted any extra books as scripture. v. 4 : God commands His people to remember and obey the law of Moses: “Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments” . This verse is a call to remember and obey the law given to Moses at Mount Horeb (another name for Mount Sinai). Moses is honored as God’s servant, and the law is honored as God’s command for all Israel. Even though new prophecies will stop for a time, the people must keep following the law. This is the foundation for their faith and life. Forgetting God’s law leads to sin, but remembering it helps people do what is right. Even as they wait for the Messiah, they must keep living by God’s commands (Hebrews 8:10 ).
